Re: suspected dui

This will be considered a first offense. The DA and DMV look only as far back as 10 years for purposes of determining priors.

Feel free to contact us if you or a friend are serious about getting representation in this matter.

It IS a second offense, but in CA it isn't used as a 'prior' to enhance penalties if it is over 10 years old.
